What people say about FunikiJam and founder, Brian Barrentine: "My kid is obsessed with the jamming. When we want to punish him, we tell him he can't go to FunikiJam"​ Funikijam mom “Barrentine blew into town and kid’s music has never been the same. He is astonishingly wonderful.” - The Tennessean “Part stage show, part live band, part puppet theater, kids get WILD with FunikiJam’s globe spanning musical adventure” - Atlanta’s Creative Loafing Magazine “I have never seen our youngest learners more focused and so involved in any educational performance. The blend of developmentally appropriate content and audience participation kept them mesmerized from beginning to end.” - Elementary School principal “A prolific songwriter, he has been jamming with young children for the past decade. With countless shows and classes around the world, It's like he’s been working with his very own focus group all these years!” - New York television producer
